Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty %ofevery person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends In curing consumption, severe
coughs, Group, asthma, pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without Immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and We consider it the duty of all
druggists to recommend it to the poor,
dying consumptive, at least to try one
bottle, as 10000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one Ease where it
failed was reported. Such a medicine
as the German Syrup cannot be too
widely known. Ask your druggist about
it. Sample bottles to try sold at 10
cents. Regular size, Is cents. Sold by
all druggists and dealers, il the United
States and Canada.

The machinery of the United States
represents the labor ola thousand mil
lion men, or fifty times as much labor as
that Of all the men in the country.
When motive power is still further
cheapened--say IN another generation
II beliye that the unskilled laborer, il
sober and industrious, can have a house
of his own u horse and carriage, a
library and a piano. 1t is terrible
stupidity hat leads some laboring men
TO suppose that machinery is their foe.
1t is the thing that gives them independ-
ence and freedom. Without machinery
society would drift into the condition of
master and slave. The multiplication
of machinery means for every worker
more food, better clothes, better houses
and less work, In fact, / believe that
the indefinite increase in machinery is
going to solve what folks call "the labor
question'-that is, the desire OF hand
workers to get a bigger slice Of the
margin Of pro6t.-Thomas Edison.

Tho McssaRe,

The presidents message does not
prove to be the lengthy document an
ticipated, but on, the contrary. is the
shortest communication Of like char
acter that has been presented in many
years. The following review of the
message is clipped from the Sioux City
Journal:
The presidents message. instead of
being the exhaustive document that was
expected, treating at length the many
questions of importance that confront
the people and their representatives. in
congress, is given herewith in full. and
is the shortest communication Of like
character that has been presented in
many years. The only subjects men
toned are the treasury surplus and
the tariff. The president says that the
national finances need attention; that
the surplus Is piling up too fast, and
that the boarding of SO much money
cripples the financial energies of the
country. He urges that immediate
action be taken to reduce the government
income and thus pervent the ceaseless
flow of gold into the treasury vaults.
To do this he says the tariff aud revenue
laws must be revised. but he presents
definite line Of reduction to be followed.
lie wants the tax on the necessaries of
life lessencd, so that the effect may be
perceptibly felt by the working classes
rather than the reduction on the lux
uries INDUCED in by the comparatively
few. Import duties and the protective
tariff on manufacturer and material
should be reduced, he says. in order to
cheaper such class of goods, the prices
of which are now kept up thereby, even
if the effect is felt by American manu-
acturers, Such reduction, he argues,
will be Of benefit to the masses, and the
comparatively few engaged in manu-
features should be patriotic enough to
suffer loss that the many may derive the
promised benefits.
c'hOi iiaIlcis, suCH as IoTeIBH fetd-
tons, internal improvements, the mon
etary question, public lands, the public
debt, the army and navy, the postal
s%eavice, the admission of new states, etc. g.,
are not mentioned in any way. Con
gress is referred to the various depart
mental reports for information concern
ing the workings of the government.
The president concludes with the
promise that further communication
will be made to congress during the ses-
sion rs circumstances may demand.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE INTER
EsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE INTER.
EsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST II DISEASE.
Group is the terror of young mothers
especially during the early winter
months, as il is then most prevalent.
To post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms, treatment and how to
prevent it, is the object of this article.
The origin Of Group is a common cold,
children that are subject to it take cold
very easily and Group is almost sure to
follow. The first symptoms Of Group is
hoarseness, it is Il peculiar h~oarseness,
easily recognized and nee heard al
ways remembered. Usually a day or
two before the attack, the child be-
comes hoarse and gradually shows
symptoms of having taken cold, and
this is where the mistake is usually
made, the mother thinking her child
has just taken cold gives it no especial
attention until awakened in the night
by the violent coughing of the child,
finds il has the Group and remembers 1t
has had "A cold or been hoarse for a day
or two. Such circumstances often oc-
cur, and in many cases the mother has
nothing in the house that will relieve it,
and may be several miles from a physi-
elan or drug store. You can well i'm
agine the situation and her distress.
The time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse or shows symptoms Of
having taken cold; if Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is freely given from
that time on, all tendency to Group will
disappear and all danger be avoided.
The remedy prevents fully ten thous-
and cases of Group every year. 1t is
the main reliance with many mothers
throughout the Western States and
Territories, they have learned its value
and how TO use it, and in those families
Group Is seldom known because it is
always prevented.
The best treatment forcroupis Cham
b~erlain's Cough Remedy used as di-
rected with each bottle. Careful in
quiry fail to reveals single case where
it has ever failed although agreat many
severe and dangerous cases have been
cured by it. Can any mother who has
small children afford to be without such
a remedy. 1t costs but fifty cents, can
she afford to take the chances for SO
trivial an amount.

A sharp advance is noted in the New
York metal market in the past week.
Copper touched II on the 4th, and tin
was quoted up to 80 cents. Bets were
made that copper would continue to
advance until it touched 22 cents. The
fire in the Calumet and Hecla. mine,
which largely decreases the output
has much to do with the late advance in
this metal. The news from this mine is
still u~nfavorable three shafts being
closed, and a French syndicate threaten
ing suit for failure to deliver a contract.

Lawrence, and probably Penning

Lawrence, and probably Pennington
county, will be represented at the Aber-
deem statehood convention. If Custer
county residents could dismiss the sub
,ject of tin long enough to give the
question Of statehood a rational thought,
it is very probable they would follow
up the bent Of their vote at the late
election, and send delegates to Aber-
deem. Proxies, at least, should be sent
from here but under the circumstances
it is very probable that the matter viii
receive no attention whatever.

A Pierre special to the Sioux City

Warrants were issued to-day for the
arrest Of twenty Indians or the Win
nebago reservation. on the cha rye Of as
sault with deadly weapons. These
Indians sold wood to the whites and
received money for it, and then drew
their revolvers and refused TO let them
depart with the wood, The whites
demonstrated, when the Indians ares
ted and had them taken to Fort Thorn

expense. Popular opinion is strongly

it is hoped justice will be measured to
them in q good, solid chunk"

Cheap

Our esteemed contemporary, the New
York Herald, has raised its price from
. to 8 cents, having learned by sad ex-
perience that the reduction it made
some time since did not pay. The move
is a wise one. Newspapers even at 5
cents are cheap enough, considering the
return made for the money. In no
other business in the world is so much
given for so little as in journalism. Not
only the current news, but current liter
allure is served in each issue of a daily
paper to an extent that, if printed in
book form, would make a bulky volume.
That z cents or even D cents are an ade-
quate return for such a mental feast is
out of the question. No merchant dis
poses Of his wares at a price below their
actual value, and there is no reason why
newspaper proprietors should. If a
newspaper is not well worth 5 cents a
copy it is worth nothing, and even
though it increases its price by me-
third the Herald will still be giving its
readers an exceptionally liberal return
for their money. Even the annual
price paid for the most expensive news.
papers is small compared with the
amount Of information derived from
them, and in demanding cheap journal
ism the minimum limit consistent with
reason and fairness is reached when
even as much as 5 cents per copy, retail,
is asked. The case is different with the
smaller papers which, in anticipation of
charging a nominal rate, cut their goods
according to their cloth but with the
larger newspapers it will always be the
case that the public gets the better Of
the bargain.-St. Paul Globe.
